SPRING OPENING

OF my immense stock OF Spring Cloth
ing for men. youths and boys. The
magnitude Of my stock has never before
been cqualed. My steadily Increasing
business and the liberal patronage upon
me in the past has justified me in select
ing this III rse and we'll assorted stock OF
Spring clothing. The fancy and plain
Cheviot made in Sqlare-cUt Sacks. Cut
away Sacks. and the One and Four
button Cutaway Coat. You will also
find Serges, Cashmere, WorStedS. Whip
cord and Corkscrews made il the man
ner as the Cheviot, elegantly made and
trimmed. These garments are guaran-
teed to fit, and made eqnal to any mer-
chant tailor garment. have taxed my
best efforts in securing this class OF
goods from the best manufacturers in
order 10 compete with custom work, and
to sell you these goods at one-half their
price. Many who have had their clothes
made have been patronizing the Empo-
rum Of Fashion. "Why?" Because they
get as fine a suit. and Will tit as well,
and better trimmed. and equally as we'll
made, and at Il considerable less lost.
The most important feature is that they
can keep trying Oh until they can get a
satisfactory fit and run no risk, Is they
usually do when having them made 10

AN INTERNATIONAL TUBE.

Col. J. H. Pierce, Of Saithington,
who has been studying the use of
pneumatic tubes, has reached a
point at which he hopes to show
that a tube across the Atlantic can
be used. The tubes will always be
in couples, with the currents of air
in one tube always moving in an
opposite direction from the other.
The heaviest cannon will serve to
illustrate the tube. A car takes
the place of the charge, the tube to
be indefinitely continuous and the
speed of the car to be governed by
the rapidity with which air can be
forced through.
Time is required to establish a
current of air flowing with great
swiftness through tube perhaps
thousands of miles in length, but
when once created the motion will
be nearly uniform. The speed of
the current may be made as great
as may be desired by using the
steam driver fans employed in blast
furnaces. Niagara Falls could
drive blast fans and furnish motive
power to keep in motion the trains
to connect this continent with the
old world.
The temperature within the tube
may be regulated by passing blasts
of air entering the tube through
furnaces or over ice. The speed
attained may reach 1000 miles an
hour. The tube lining and car ex-
terror would be of polished steel,
with corrugated sides matching
with wheels provided with anti
friction bearings. The speed,
owing TO the curvature of the
earth's surface, will tend to over
come all weight, and the pressure
will be upon the upper part of the
tube; thus there is scarcely any
limit to the speed attainable.

THE PAY OF LEGISLATORS.

Some curious statistics have just
been published concerning the sala-
ries given to members Of Parlia-
ment in. various foreign nations.
To begin with France, the Sena-
tors and Deputies receive the same
remuneration-namely, 81 sterling
day. In Belgium each member
of the Chamber of Representatives
gets e17 a month. In Denmark
the members of the Landsthing are
paid about 15s. a day. In Portu-
gal the Peers and Commons are
given the same sum, which is e67
a year. In Sweden the members
of the Diet receive eG6 for a ses-
sion of four months, blS they have
to refund a fine of Us. for every
days absence. That is not bad
idea. In Switzerland the members
Of the National Council get los.
per diem, and those Of the Council
of State from IS. to los. In the
United States Congressman are
paid $4,000, and are allowed an in
demnity for travelling expenses.
In Norway the members of the
Storthing receive las. day during
the session, which lasts about six
weeks. In Italy the Senators and
Deputies are not paid, but they are
allowed travelling expenses and GER
tain privileges. In Spain the
members of the Cortes are also un-
paid, but enjoy many advantages
and immunities. In Greece the
Senators get $50 a month and the
Deputies S1O. In Germany the
representatives receive an average
Of los. day. In Austria the pay
is the same as in France, Fl a day.
England is the only country where
members of Parliament are not
only unpaid, but have no right to
privileges.

SHE DISLikED HIS INVITATION.

Bob Durdette insists that he
overheard a woman lecturing her
husband as follows on board a
train:
sNow, I'll tell you why I would
uot go into the restaurant and have
a cup Of coffee with YOU while we
were waiting for the train. ldidn't
like the way you asked me. Keep
quiet. I have the floor. Not half
an hour before you said to Mr..
Pufer, Come, let's get a cigar,
and away you went, holding his
arm, and not giving him a chance
to decline. When we met John
O'Howdy on our way to luncheon
YOU said: Justin time, John; come
take lunch with US And then, to-
night, when we found the train an
hour late, you looked atyour watch,
turned to me, .and said in ques-
tioning way: Would you like cup
of coffeep And I did want it. I
was tired and a little hungry, but
I would have tainted before I
would have accepted such an invi-
tation. And you went away a little
bit vexed with me, and had your
coffee and bread and butter by
yourself, and didn't enjoy it very
much. In effect you said to me;
IF you want cup of coffee, if you
really want it, Twill buy it for you.
You are the best husband in the
world, but do as nearly all the best
husbands do. Why do you men
seem to dole things out to your
wives when you fairly throw them
to the men you know? Why don't
you invite me heartily, as you in
vite men? Why didn't you say:
Come, let's get little coffee and
something,' and take me right
along with you? You wouldn't say
to a man, Would you like me to
buy you cigar?' Then why do
you always issue your little invita-
tions to treats in that way to me
Indeed, indeed, my dear husband,
if men would only act toward their
wives as heartily, cordially, frankly
as they do to men whom they meet.
they would find cheerier compan-
ions at home than they could al
the CLUB.

a NOVEL CAMPAIGN WEAPON
A Newspaper Enjoined from Support
ing Candidate.

New ORLEANS, September 4.-Dur-
ing the present campaign, which has
become very warm between the fol-
lowers Of McEnery and Nichols, RI
val Democrats, or two occasions in
the interest of the former courts were
called upon to enjoin newspapers
from printing editorials in behalf of
the latter. The latest case was that
of the Ascension Democrat. On the
51st of August the sheriff, acting
under writ Of: sequestration by the
clerk of court, took charge of the
newspaper. Coupled with this was
an injunction order enjoining the
board of directors and the editor from
using the columns of the paper in adj
vocacy of Gen. Nichols nomination.
These writs were obtained by four
stockholders, holding 81 shares out
Of total Of 200. The Democrat
Publishing Company bonded the Sc
questration and took charge of the
paper. The grounds alleged for the
writ issued were that the policy Of
the paper in supporting Nichols was
in violation of the provision of the
charter which declared that the paper
should be Democratic in politics.
The absurdity of the suggestion was
apparent to every one.
& The courts are allowed great II.
cense in this State st present. About
year ago city editor in New Or
leans was fined $40 for printing the
public proceedings Of a murder trial
after the Judge had ordered him not
to do it.

THE WOMAN IN LAW.
Can She Act in Fiduciary Capacity
An Interesting Decision by
Probate Judge.
Special to the Ne1cs and Courier.

SPECIAL TO me Ne1cS ana Courier.
CHESTER, September Our Pro-
bate Judge in his late decision grant
ing letters of administration to Henry
Chambers anG denying them to Mrs.
Coleman was governed in part by the
fact that the law is imperative that
where letters Of administration have
been granted to an unmarried wom-
an, and she afterwards marries
the administration must be revoked.
To his mind the inference was plain
: that married woman cannot act in
fduciary capacity. Moreover, it
was his opinion that Henry Cham
bers had not waived his right to ad,
minister, as the counsel for Mrs.
Coleman contended in consenting to
the administration Of j. Q. Hood, for
the reason that, according to later
decision Of the Supreme Court of the
State, an heir at law cannot delegate
bis right Of administration to another
party. Henry Chambers may have
consented to the petition Of J. Q.
Hood asking for letters of admins
tration, but he did not thereby waive
: his. right to administer. The opinion
prevails that the decision of the Pro-
bate Judge will be sustained by the
Circuit Judge.
